I will Declare for President" - Dr. Chris Ngige Says as he Receives Uzuegbuna Okagbue



Nigeria's Minister for Labour has said that he would declare to run for President on Tuesday. He said this on Easter Sunday, when he received Uzuegbuna Okagbue in visit, to commemorate this year's Easter celebration.

Dr. Chris Ngige who was a former governor of Anambra state, and former Anambra Central senator, also assured Uzuegbuna Okagbue that his aspiration to represent Anambra Central is in order. "The way you are going is how it is done. That was how I went round throughout Anambra Central in 1998. Although I later did not win my party's nomination, but that consultation was useful because it made me a foremost Anambra Central politician even without winning my party's nomination or an election", Dr. Ngige said.

In his further comments, Ngige admonished Uzu that he should not have any doubt in what he is doing because, according to the minister, "your (Uzu's) kingship will come, that is my prayer and it will come. This efforts you are making will bear bountiful fruits. I am wishing you well. This journey will be useful and bear fruits". 

Speaking on national politics, and unfolding developments in Nigeria, Dr. Ngige said he was still consulting and only the day before had consulted the governor of Enugu State. "He is not a member of my party, but he is one of the leaders of my zone, so I consulted him. So I am consulting, but on Tuesday, I will declare for President", Ngige said.
